Best 6 Chicken Bone Broth Recipes

CHICKEN BONE BROTH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Place chicken bones onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Place baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast bones for 30 minutes.
• Gently transfer bones from the baking sheet into a large and heavy stockpot. Add onion and enough water to cover the bones by 2 inches. Add vinegar, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, partially covered, leaving enough space for steam to escape, for 4 to 5 hours. Check occasionally for froth or foam that develops on top of the water, removing it with a large spoon.
• Remove from the heat and let cool. Strain broth through a fine mesh strainer into a clean pot. Let cool completely. Store in the refrigerator and use within 5 days or freeze until ready to use.

SLOW COOKER CHICKEN BONE BROTH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place chicken bones, garlic cloves, carrots, celery, and onion on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
• Transfer roasted bones and vegetables into a 6-quart slow cooker. Add vinegar, bay leaves, salt, and peppercorns. Cover completely with water and cook on Low for 24 to 48 hours, adding 1 to 2 cups more water during the cooking process, to keep bones submerged.
• Strain broth using a fine mesh strainer. Pour into jars and refrigerate until ready to use.

CHICKEN BONE BROTH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Remove the wings, thighs, drumsticks, and breasts from the chickens.
• Place the carcasses, wings, necks, and innards that came inside the chicken on a baking sheet and place in the preheated oven. Roast until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. For a lighter flavor, skip this step. If you're planning to drink the broth by itself, or with herbs or seasonings, this step adds a nice depth of flavor, umami, and richness our tongues can't get enough of.
• Place the bones, feet, and vinegar in a stockpot or slow cooker, at least 10 quarts in size, and cover with the cold water. If using a stockpot, bring the water to a boil over high heat. If using a slow cooker, turn the temperature to high. Once simmering, reduce heat to low, cook for 30 minutes, skimming and discarding the scum that rises to the top. Add the ice and skim off any fat that congeals on the top along with any other scum or impurities. Simmer uncovered for 12 to 15 hours, adding more water as necessary just to keep the bones covered.
• Add the carrots, onions, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves and simmer for another 5 hours. Continue to skim off any impurities; add water as necessary to keep the ingredients covered.
• Gently strain or ladle the liquid through a fine-mesh strainer into a container. Fill your sink with ice water. Place the container of broth in the ice bath to cool for about 1 hour. Use the broth right away, or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 1 year.
• Remove any fat that has solidified on the top before using. You may discard this fat or use it as you would any other cooking fat.

PRESSURE COOKER BONE BROTH OR CHICKEN STOCK

Steps:

• If you want to roast the bones first, heat the oven to 450ºF. Lay the bones out on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until well browned, 25 to 35 minutes.
• Put the bones (roasted or not) in the pressure cooker pot and add all the remaining ingredients. Cover with 3 to 3 1/2 quarts of water (the water shouldn't come more than two-thirds of the way up the side of the pot). To make regular stock, cook on high pressure for 1 hour if using all chicken or poultry bones, or 2 hours for beef or pork bones or a combination of poultry and meat. For bone broth, cook on high pressure for 3 hours for poultry bones, and 4 1/2 hours for beef, pork, or mixed bones. When making bone broth, you'll know you've cooked it long enough if all the connective tissue, tendons, and cartilage have dissolved and the bones crumble a bit when you poke at them. If this hasn't happened, cook it on high pressure for another 30 minutes and check it again.
• Allow the pressure to release naturally. Use the broth or stock right away, or store it in the refrigerator or freezer. Bone broth and regular stock will keep for 5 days refrigerated or up to 6 months frozen.

INSTANT POT® CHICKEN BONE BROTH

Steps:

• Set chicken carcass in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Add carrots, celery, onion, garlic, apple cider vinegar, salt, peppercorns, and bay leaf. Pour in water.
• Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 180 minutes. Allow 30 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 30 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Let broth sit for 20 minutes to cool. Pour liquid through a strainer and discard all solids.
• Refrigerate and use within 3 days or store in freezer-safe containers and use within 6 months.

INSTANT POT CHICKEN BONE BROTH RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• To a 6-quart (5.5 liter) instant pot, add the chicken bones, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, rosemary, thyme, peppercorns, apple cider vinegar, and water, and stir to combine. Set the instant pot to high sauté and bring to a boil. Cook until any impurities foam to the surface, then carefully skim off the top with a large spoon.
• Place the lid on the pot and turn the venting valve to "sealing." Set to pressure cooking for 60 minutes.
• Release the pressure from the instant pot by switching the vent to "venting." The hot steam will come out of the top, so make sure your hand is not over the release switch . Wait for the pressure to release and the instant pot to unlock before removing the lid.
• Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth. Let cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 6 days, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
• Enjoy!
